- Old paint and cleaning chemicals: Take to a designated fire station or City landfill for safe disposal. Visit ca/hhw to view locations.
- Clothing, shoes, and linens: Donate useable clothes, shoes, and linens to a local charity or take to a textiles recycling bin at City landfills.
- Old electronics: Take your old and broken gadgets to an electronics drop-off for proper recycling. Check out the list of locations at ca/electronics.
- Household batteries: Safely dispose of household batteries by taking them to a participating retailer for free recycling. Learn more at ca/battery.
